I just scored 45 minutes of music for a TV show. The editor sent me the final edit of all the music tracks in AAF format so I could check everything before mixing. There was no way Cubase "Pro" 8 could read this, so I had to download and install the ProTools 11 trial, open the AAF there, export an OMF and import that into Cubase. How "pro" is that? This is ridiculous. Do I need to buy PT in order to handle basic stuff such as this? Nuendo is beside the point here, I don't need advanced audio post-production software because I'm not mixing the program. I just need to compose to video and AAF import is an absolute necessity when doing that.

As far as Logic X doesn't support OMF anymore, there were some ocassions for me already to need AAF ability in Cubase! Still have to tell people to bounce complete wavs for file transfer, that's not as elegant as it should be.
